It’s going to boil down to who can control the campaign money. If Biden can’t, then Harris can access it. If both are out, that money can’t just be rerouted easily. Yes, Dem donors will step up behind another candidate, but they are running out of time. Always follow the money.

The sentencing in the NY case got postponed until September 18th, because the jury's verdict was based in part on communications with aides and the public that Trump made while President. Since Trump may well have immunity from prosecution over those actions per the recent Trump v. United States SCOTUS case, Judge Merchan has delayed the sentencing hearing, and acknowledged the potential that it might not be necessary at all, so both sides can brief and argue the question. Either way, Trump gets a significant reprieve, and the Dems won't have booking photos to plaster on campaign ads for a few more months.
